Broodiness

Teenagers have nothing on chickens. The picture is of one of our hens, her name is Nova. She has officially become broody. Unless you pick her up and take her out, she will only get off of the nest once or twice a day. That means she is not eating or drinking enough. Plus she only potties one huge pile each day. We don't have a rooster so the eggs are never going to hatch, and I take the eggs out of the nest so she isn't actually sitting on any. We are trying to break her out of this broodiness so that she can get back to eating, drinking, and roaming around. Worst case she should give up in a couple more weeks. Later
